My quick tour of London

7am arrival and 9:50pm departure. After getting caught up in customs and resting up a bit, Annie and I went on a whirlwind tour of London. Her family friends drove us around so we got to see quite a lot.

Buckingham Palace

Me in front of Westminster Abbey

Big Ben and a bit of the London Eye

Parliament

OF COURSE Platform 9 3/4 is closed the one night I happen to be in London. Bummer heights high to the max.

We drove through Chelsea, Soho, West End, and a few other neighborhoods so even though my trip was super short, I feel like I got a good taste of the city. I can't wait to go back!

Cheers,
A

I'm here!

Annie and I arrived in New Delhi around noon local time after a long journey that included a layover in London.I was super tired, jetlagged, overwhelmed, and culture shocked upon arrival at our flat - but since meeting our flatmates, taking a nice long nap, and having some delicious (legit) Indian food, I'm feeling super excited about this trip and my time at Asha.

I have plenty of pictures from my first whirlwind tour of London as well as some pictures of New Delhi that I hope to post soon. 

It's a little after 10pm local time here and I have some unpacking to do before I go to sleep. Tomorrow is our first day at the office and I am beyond excited to meet all of the people I've been corresponding with over email for the past few months. Taking an auto-rickshaw should be very interesting indeed...

I hope all of you are well and that you'll continue to follow my blog for the next few weeks! 

Much love,
A
